We celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary on the weekend! Ten years, wow! hard to believe that much time has gone by but I hear it flies when you're having fun! ;)))) Murray's parents got their first crack at having a sleepover & kept the kids for the weekend. It started out a little rocky when Lovey got overtired on the trip down and then spent the rest of the drive crying, begging and pleading to please please please take her home so she could sleep in her bed. This continued after we arrived and then throughout the night but the next day she was fine & the 2 nights they spent at Nanny & Grampy's went without incident, or at least, without full tilt screaming hysterics.
The kids had a blast helping Nanny clean out the attic and playing with all the old toys she's kept there for years. They also got into their Great Nana's jewelry which would have been any girl's delight!
For our part, we had an enjoyable weekend of quiet togetherness! We did some canoeing, some biking & jogging (I biked to keep up with that freakin' runner!) & we stayed at a b&b that had awesome food and a cozy room to crash in. The second night we went in to the city and did some shopping, more eating and we wandered around downtown checking out the action there and caught a comedy show in the evening that was really good. It was pretty weird to be so carefree for such an extended period of time! Usually if the kids go to my mum's, there's something to work on at home so it's not quite as leisurely as this. I enjoyed it but it didn't feel quite real! Being free of responsibility is now a foreign concept to us I guess! BUT I'm sure we could get better at it, given the opportunity....
Murray calls this his "urban attitude". I think I've burned out another model!
